We have this issue closed as resolved:

http://bugs.python.org/issue18264 It's called "enum.IntEnum is not compatible with JSON serialisation", and it looks that after a long conversation they added proper support for it in Py3.4. However, this is still failing: Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct 8 2014, 13🔞07) [GCC 4.9.1] on linux >>> import enum, json >>> Foo = enum.Enum('Foo', 'bar baz') >>> json.dumps(Foo.bar) Traceback (most recent call last): ... TypeError: <Foo.bar: 1> is not JSON serializable Am I failing to understand the bug tracker saying the patch was applied for Py3.4?

As the issue title suggests, IntEnum but not Enum supports JSON serialization.
